We all know that celebrities while on the red carpet use the time to talk to the public and be heard. It’s known and understood that their microphones are very big and they speak for everyone.

The MBAchic brand reports they have been part of countess groups and followings that promote Female MBA candidates and graduates for equality in the workforce. The goal is to have by the year 2020, at least 20% of board members to be female. It’s been recent and over the past two years, it’s beginning to feel as the world is changing that makes it possible for women to hold equal power.  Women are setting higher goals, as MBAchic is seeing the average class gender ratio near 50/50 split.

Forbes reports that USC Marshall announced that its incoming class of 2020 is 52% women. They are the first major American business school to achieve this in their full-time program.

The majority of schools are reporting they have crossed the 40% female mark and that group is continuing to grow.

Statistically proven, companies that have three or more women on their board of directors have increased productivity with female MBA’s. Not to mention a higher average dividend payout and return on equity.
